Match Thread | Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City (14/12/25)

[pudge]

My kingdom for a clean sheet

 

[chris85mcfc]

Lucky to be in front but ill take it

Really struggling to get anything meaningful out from the back, but that's largely down to Foden, Reijnders and Haaland offering nothing in terms of movement

Cherki the only one in the front 4 looking anything like dangerous, which has to change in the 2nd half

Foden has to start finding a way to get involved in these types of games; he'll always pop up with a goal but these are the games where we need to control and take pressure off the back 5, can only do that with our front players taking some control

 

[Tuearts right boot]

This is just what this season is gonna be like.

Any points we can pick up on the road will be bonuses.

It's very tight and it's going to get interesting this year

 

[blubanjo]

A tough watch first half, if we get out of here with 3 points I'll take that all day long unless something changes.
Powder puff midfield with no legs worries me.

 

[jollylescott]

We've struggled after the midweek highs, so 1-0 is an excellent scoreline. Nunes has been good, but we haven't coped well with their through balls on.this compact ground.

 

[Beanhead]

We are really missing the Count. Typical, he gets injured and Saar palaces biggest creater returns from injury.

 

[Cigs&Alc]

Would like to see Savio fairly quickly in this 2nd half.

 

[SamBlue]

Very, very lucky to go in with a clean sheet. Palace were much the better side that half. Thank fuck for Haaland.

Our midfield is wank. Too soft and too slow and therefore no control.

Got 2-1 written all over if we don’t sort it out.

What midfield?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I suppose this is the game where having a world class shot stopper and world class striker means you have a chance in any game.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Inefficient offensively and non existent Defensively

 

[rowarta]

Ex palace Murray?

and ex-brighton which makes it even worse

 

[standupifyouhatemanu]

Doing well against 12 men I’d say

 

[lasereyes]

Just waiting for commentators to say ‘winning when you’re not playing well - it’s the mark of champions’


Won’t hold my breath though…..fairly sure it was overused yesterday….

Nope they are still going on about our being vulnerable and scraping by against Fulham. I guess I dreamed Arsenal'a shit show against 2 point Wolves yesterday

 

[dublin-blue]

Nunes' crosses have been great this season

 

[TinFoilHat]

Aussies showing Erling interview at HT.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

If we continue to let them run behind they will eventually time one of their runs right.

Riejnders ghosting through another game.

Foden also needs to wake up and come alive.

Quality is very poor today. Game littered with sloppy passes and carelessly giving the ball away.

 

[give it to gordon]

Fucking cheerleaders kin hell.

Keep going on about them hitting the bar but he looks off side

 

[Gray]

He seems to find himself in a lot of space fairly regularly, receives the ball, turns and runs up to pitch only to make the complete wrong decision. His off the ball work is even worse. I'm a happy clapper and I've had enough of him. Should be sat down and eased back in. Problem is we need some legs in the middle and no one else available.

Ait-Nouri would be better than him.

 

[Sky Blue]

I haven't heard such biased commentary for a long time

Pair of utter cunts,

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Fucking Cheerleaders at HT???

You can tell Palace are Yank owned.
